Perfect Colours is using the HP PageWide XL printer at its innovation centre in Sheffield to print sewing patterns for home sewers to make nursing scrubs needed urgently by the NHS during the Covid-19 outbreak.
HP is covering the cost of printing and shipping the patterns to assist the nationwide project.
The HP large-format team asked Perfect Colours to offer the service via the ‘For The Love Of Scrubs – Our NHS Needs You’ group on Facebook. Set up by A&E nurse Ashleigh Linsdell, the group connects hospitals and GP surgeries in vital need of scrubs with people with the sewing skills to make them at home.
As an HP platinum partner, Perfect Colours has an HP PageWide XL 5100 and XL 3600 installed at its Sheffield site for demo purposes in normal times. Jason Burroughs, Perfect Colours MD, said of the new novel usage: ” We’re delighted and honoured to help that effort by printing the sewing patterns on our super-fast HP PageWide.”
